Bacon or Shakespeare

The list of venerable ficlions long accepted
as facts, but of late exploded, promises to re-
ceive q most startling addition. 1t has been
quite clearly proven that Columbus was not
the first to discover America. Our faith has
been shaken in Helen of Troy, in Ulysses, in
Eneas, in Romulus and Remus. The Col
ossus did not stand astride the harbor OF
Rhodes. William Tell existed only in a live
ly Imagination. we are even asked TO sur
render our faith in Pocahontas 1t is urged
also that Whittiers Barbara Freitchie is
purely a poetic fiction. Learned German
critics are to this day wrangling over the
personality of Homer, and many question
his authorship, while some even deny that
such a man ever had existence. Now comes
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota, and
announces that he has discovered in the
SHAKESPEARE plays a curiously interviewer ci-
pher narrative which proves beyond the
shadow of Doubt that there never was such
a man as we all imagine William Shakes
pere to have been: that the plays which all
the world unites in placing at the head OF the
worlds literature, were written by Francis
Bacon; that they were produced by Bacon in
order to keep the wolf from the door, and at
the same time to inculcate doctrines which
his political aspirations and in fact his re-.
gard for his own personal safety, and even
his life, prevented HIM from proclaimins
publicly over his own name. and that they
were sold 10, and published under the name
of. an ignorant play actor and theater man.
ager, whilom a ''serviture'' and holder of
horses at a London theater. The cipher mar
rative which Gov. Donnelly claims to have
found in the first complete edition of the
plays, printed in 1926, also discloses it is stat
ed, other startling facts and 1t is said to be in
fact secret story OF that eventful period in
English history which is known as the Eliz
bethan era. The cipher story as well as the
key to the same will soon be published by II.

book will be "The Great Cryptogram: Francis
Bacon's Cipher in the so-called Shakespere

"A special dispatch from New Yorl

Aspecial dispatch from New York
has the following item which Illus.
trates the practical as against the
theoretical usages of civil service re-.
form:
Gov. Hill. President Cleveland and
Private Secretary Lamont sent con-
tributions and letters to the demo.
cratic state committee to-day. All
the contributions were large, especi-
ally for an officer. Letters accom-
panied the checks. The Governor
expressed his belief that the strong
ticket that Lad been put in nemina-
tion by the democratic convention
would win. He took pleasure in in
surfing the. success In any way he
could. The President wrote the
shortest note. He hoped that the
ticket would win, and enclosed his
check. Secretary Lamont wrote a
charming note that has won the
hearts of all the officers of the COM
mission who have seen it. He spoke
in detail of the excellence of the
ticket and the fine men that are on
it. He enclosed big check, and
told how happy he was when he
could "chip in" and help the demo-
cratic cause along in New York.

Let Mr.. Stordock Retire,

The Dis patch believes that Gov.
McGill is just man, anxious that
no scandal should attach to his adj
mlnistration of the government of
this state. We believe that however
he may regard the unsavory contro-
versy which now RACES around the
saltwater prison, he is satisfied that
his appointment of Fl. q. Stordock,
as warden of that prison is an unfor-
tunate one. That appointment
should be instantly revoked. 1t is a
public indecency that a man with
such charges pending over him, and
whose administration of his trust
has elected such universal public
disapprebation, should continue in
Office one hour longer.
We do not propose to PREJUDICE the
merits of the legal proceedings which
have eventuated in Mr.. Stordock's
arrest on the two charges of subor-
nation Of perjury and criminal libel.
The Dispatch some weeks ago antici.
pated his proecution on the first of
these charges. 1t was unavoidable.
Unless criminal justice was but a
name in the state of Minnesota, Mr..
Stordeck could not avoid being ar
raigned at a criminal bar on such a
charge. The prosecuting officers of
Washington county would be direlict
to duty were the testimony in that
behalf aaduced on the prison investi-
Cation disregarded. The arrest was
- the necessary outcome of such testi-
mony, no more, no less.
We ask Gov. McGill whether his
duty as the chief executive of law
abiding people does not demand such
action. lie may if he pIeases, con-
stitute it mere temporary act. No
public servant, however insignlfi.
cant, Should be allowed by his super
Tor to wear the badge Of Office under
such circumstances. 1t may be said
that such action may prejudice the
final outcome In the criminal pro.
ceedings against Mr.. Stordock. We
are confident that no such result can
follow; but even if We were wrong,
the decencles and amenities of pub
lie life demand such action at the
hands of the governor. The accused
official has brought the indignity
upon himself. He alone is responsl.
lie.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1887-11-03

These considerations are urged up.
on Governor McGill wholly in dis
charge of duty incumbent upon ev-
cry public journal. They are not
advanced in the interest of Mr.. Reed,
or Mr.. Marsh or anybody else, but
simply in recognition of what is due
toward the exalted public Office
which Mr.. Stordock holds. If his
sense of propriety does not induce
him to resign he should be removed,
at least until the final outcome is
known of the proceedings brought
against him.--St. Paul Dispatch.

What shall be- done to stimulate
our wheat market, The fact stares
us full in the face that there is an
open gap of from five to eight cents
between this village and Melrose IN
the price paid, and the result need
not be dwelt upon. If Melrose deal
ers can pay sixty-fve cents for it
there is no reason why Sank Centre
purchasers cannot. There are all
sorts of explanations offered, but
none of them is at all satisfactory. 1t
is not reasonable to suppose that Mel
rose buyers are throwing away their
money for the mere fun of doing bus.
mess. Sank Centre has a mill equal
to the one at Melrose-or that could
be made so. There is every induce.
ment for our people to give this ques.
ton very serious attention. The
business interests of the village are
suffering. Some concerted action
should be taken, and that before it is
too late to accomplish anything.

Warden Stordock, of the Saltwater
penitentiary, has been arrested upon
charge of criminal libel on account
of an article in the Prison Mirror,
charging ex-warden Reed with dis.
honesty, and again charging him
with subornation of perjury IN hav-
ing used his official position to com
pei Mary Waishar, a convict, to max e
false affidavits against Mr.. Reed, by
combining her in a dark cell until she
did SO testify and make the false affi-
davit. 1t seems pretty evident that
the states prison troubles are not yet
at an end.
